and other things

About

Welcome to Failing at Writing!

I created this blog as an overly-complicated answer to my own simple question: what does it mean to be a writer?

To me, it doesn’t mean publishing your novels. It doesn’t mean making money. It doesn’t mean quitting your day job to write full-time. (Although if you do all those things, power to you, pls be my best friend and teach me things, ok?)

What does it mean to be a writer? It means you write as much as you can, read as much as you can, and learn as much as you can regarding the craft that you love.

It means picking yourself up every time you fail at writing. And starting over, every single day.

I’m here to share my ideas about writing, analyze and celebrate good writing, and find my place in a community of like-minded individuals.

Who’s that beautiful, brilliant blogger?

I'm 27 and I want to be a good writer someday. I'm fond of cats but don't have any; enjoy traveling but always want to go home; try to be sensitive but am often a thoughtless brute. Etc.

In addition to my part-time job as an Internet Complainer, I'm a freelance content writer, blogger, editor, and general copywriter-for-hire.

I currently lack confidence and my ego has been annihilated by the travails of time and age, so my rates are SUPER REASONABLE. If you need a writer/editor, please reach out for details: info@failingatwriting.com
